Imia Lamperus was a great magician, perhaps the greatest of all.
He was born about three thousand years ago. At that time, magic art was not fully popular among humans. The inheritance of magic mainly relied on blood and some crazy and cruel experiments, which consumed a lot of resources. As a result, people generally lack a basic understanding of magicians and are full of fear and hostility. At that time, the patron saint of mankind was the god of knights, and magic was still a dangerous skill that people stayed away from in the human world.
Imia Lamperus was originally a mage apprentice—it was not called a mage at that time, it was called a wizard—he first learned dangerous and cruel black magic that emphasized destruction and plunder, and later learned a relatively mild form of black magic that emphasized destruction and plunder. The white magic of division of labor and cooperation. In adventures and battles, he grew rapidly and eventually became a powerful wizard. It can even be said that he was the strongest wizard of that era.
Then, he traveled around the world, fully learned and understood various magical knowledge, and absorbed many magical concepts. About two hundred years later, he returned to human society and killed all the wizards of the "Sun" and "Moon" levels in the wizarding world at that time, leaving only the "Stars" level equivalent to the intermediate wizards, and more. Lowly wizard apprentices.
After completely destroying the top brass of the human magic world, he began to promote his theories and concepts and build a new magic system.
This new system is open and gentle. Even children who don’t understand anything can give it a try. Anyone’s opinions can be fed back in this system. More importantly, this system no longer blindly follows the route of plunder and consumption. It values systematization and the coordination between man and nature. It is more like a variation of elven and dragon spells than the old magic developed to combat elven magic.
For a long time, Imia Lamperus's new magic system has been criticized and questioned, and many people secretly ridiculed and ridiculed him. But he succeeded in the end, and the new magic system was established and flourished.
About a thousand years passed like this, and Imia Lamperus began to reflect again. He believes that his system still has many shortcomings, especially the path above "advanced level" is still unclear, and there is no suitable direction for future generations to learn from. So he took a group of students to the southern plateau of the main plane, which was still called the "Southern Barbarians" at the time, built the magic tower that was revered as the "Supreme Tower" by later generations, and started a new research.
This time, he mainly studied two topics. The first was the path to a higher level, and the second was the construction of a magical society. The results of the latter are known to everyone, and it is the Mystic Tower Federation, now known as the "Land of Mage". The results of the former are now finally in front of people's eyes.
The greatest magician, the founder of the modern magic road, revered as the "Supreme Mage" Imia Lamperus, finally reached the end of the magic road and entered the realm of God!
For a time, not to mention the main plane, almost all the spell casters in the world felt the blood rushing in their bodies. They felt that their magic power seemed to be boiling, and they even heard cheers from the source of the world.
Those mages who were trapped at the pinnacle of high levels and could never find the path to the legend suddenly saw their eyes open. They felt that a broad road appeared in front of them. As long as they followed this road, their future would be infinitely bright.
And those young people who are striving to embark on the road of magic feel that their minds are extremely flexible, and the magic that used to be unruly is now extremely obedient. Each magic that usually takes countless time and energy to complete will most likely fail. The structure comes at your fingertips, as if possessed by a spirit.
This "magic" itself is cheering and paying tribute to him!
From this moment on, spellcasters in the world will have a bright light that can shine for eternity, and a real road to the sky. The old man who had always been pioneering silently at the front finally overcame all obstacles and opened up this glorious road, pointing the way to all the spellcasters.
Even mages with different directions than him can gain enlightenment from his path. If they could only rely on luck before to achieve success, now they are a little more sure and have obtained crucial reference materials.
Well, everything is fine.
It just sucks for Wall.
He has no objection at all to Master Imya Lamperus's canonization as a god. However, the ideas proclaimed by this "God of Spellcasters" run counter to him, and can even be said to be incompatible with each other.
That's it for the previous part. The last sentence "Guarding the Great Wisdom" includes two meanings. The first meaning means that he is the god of the Lord of Mysteries - the God of Wisdom and Magic. The second meaning means that he wants to protect The integrity of the priesthood of "wisdom" prevents all acts that divide and destroy this priesthood.
And who is it that divides and destroys the priesthood of wisdom? It's Wall.
Wall's priesthood is "knowledge", and "knowledge" comes from the splitting of wisdom. When he became a god, the original complete "wisdom" priesthood was split into two parts, "knowledge" based on rational thinking and "mystery" based on perceptual understanding.
At that time, the Lord of Mysteries came to visit and asked him if he would be his slave god. If he agreed at that time, then according to the rule of "the subordinate god does not divide the main god's priesthood", although he is the god of knowledge, the wisdom priesthood will still remain intact, and will only be divided into two different sub-directions.
However, he refused.
He has already made up his mind to be loyal to His Majesty Void Mask, and he will never change it!
Since then, the division and collapse of the Wisdom Priesthood have been slowly occurring. If the Lord of Mysteries hadn't forcibly restrained it with unimaginable great power, I'm afraid it would have been completely split long ago and turned into the two priesthoods of "knowledge" and "mystery".
Everyone knows that the Lord of Mysteries will never remain silent like this, stupidly and silently persisting until he can no longer support himself. The entire Church of Masked Void has also been heavily armed and ready for a battle with the Church of the Lord of Mysteries. Even Wall himself has made two preparations.
If things go well, he fights. If things don't go well, he'll kill himself.
No matter what, he will not betray the main god to whom he is loyal, nor will he let himself become a burden to His Majesty.
But he never expected that the Lord of Mysteries did not take action, but the God of Spellcasters who had just succeeded in becoming a god was eyeing him.
But no matter what, the words have been spoken, and of course they will not be changed easily. Two gods with fundamentally conflicting ideas will inevitably have to fight.
The only suspense is probably when will this battle come
Wall thought silently and said nothing.
At this moment, Imia Lamperus, who had previously announced his vocation and philosophy to the world, spoke again.
"Wo'er, the god of knowledge that divides wisdom, I hereby declare war on you! Please be prepared to fight, I will be there soon."
Now, not to mention Wall, Sui Xiong, Morani, Weyer... and even Joel Gardman were also shocked.
"This God of Spellcasters does things too neatly..." He couldn't help but mutter, "He came here just after becoming a god. Does he want to set a record for the fastest fall?"
"He must have left a clone for resurrection with the Lord of Mysteries. Even if he loses the battle and dies, he can recover quickly with the support of the infinite divine power of the Lord of Mysteries." Morani pondered for a moment and said.
Weiye thought differently from them. He said with some worry: "Master Yimiya was a super strong man back then. Even before he became a god, I dare not say that I could beat him. Now that he has succeeded in becoming a god, Great improvement in strength... Can His Majesty, the God of Knowledge, defeat Him?"
"If you can't beat him, there's still me!" Sui Xiong said coldly, "If he dares to come here, I'll beat him until he can't take care of himself!"
"They said they were here for a duel..."
"Who the hell is he?" Sui Xiong didn't take Weier's reminder seriously at all and said with a laugh, "He said it's a one-on-one duel? I'm not his father, so I don't care about him!"
"In that case, the Lord of Mysteries will have an excuse to take action." Morani said worriedly, "And not only that, Imia Lamperus had many friends back then, even among the gods. There are many friends who are close to him... If he is one-on-one with Wall, no matter he wins or loses, his friends will not take action. But if you interfere... "
"How many people will come to help?" Sui Xiong's heart skipped a beat and he asked hurriedly.
Morani made a secret estimate and said, "A conservative estimate, ten."
"What level?"
"There are at least two or three of them that I'm not sure I can beat."
Sui Xiong took a deep breath and finally started to worry.
But worrying obviously doesn't help. The important thing is to solve the problem.
But... how to solve it
"If the Lord of Mysteries takes action, leave it to me." The God of Justice said, "There are many mortals here. As long as Wole insists on fighting here, I can take action to protect the mortals. When it comes to protecting mortals, of course we cannot allow too powerful gods to intervene. "
"Let me go and persuade you, maybe I can persuade a few of them to go away." Weyer said, his body gradually disappeared, but he had already set out to persuade the gods who had a good relationship with the God of Spellcasters, trying to get them not to interfere.
His strength is mediocre, and he can't really help much in a fight. He can only help through diplomatic means.
Before Sui Xiong had time to thank Him, he felt the space around him shake violently. A golden portal appeared in the air nearby, and a white-haired old man wearing a mage's robe came out.
"Hello, Your Majesty, the God of Knowledge." He said straight to the point, "I've kept you waiting for a long time, let's get started now."
As he spoke, He raised the wand in his hand.
